My Story

Back on the blog. I could be wrong but it helps my accountability, even if it just me being accountable to myself. I do want to run a couple of halfs again this summer. Hoping to cut a few minutes off of my time. Truly more important is the opportunity to be out doing what is healthy and brings my family together! 

3 miles on the treadmill. 3% grade for first 2.5 mi at  6.7 speed.  Ran last half at 2% grade and increased speed finishing at 8.3. Did one last loop at speed 5 times cool down. Really going to be quite a road building back up my endurance but feeling the motivation to get r done!!

Got 1.3 mi before feeling fatigued. Not much for most runners but better then where I started last year and completely my fault for letting it get down that far! Embarrassed to admit but this blog is about putting it out there, right!?! 

Right now I am looking at the Salt Lake Half Marathin on April 18th. 

90 minutes of 4 on 4 volleyball. More laughing then exercise but super fun for my XT day. I am sure they are probably thinking something with a little more cardio involvement when they set up their training plans, but this was fun and my first week. Hope it works!

Started working on better eating today as well. Honestly counting calories is what works best for me, so not the healthiest of eating but stayed under on calories drank a liter of water and still got a chocolate covered doughnut. Woop woop!!

2 miles on the treadmill this morning. Legs feeling kind of heavy today. So only had incline at 2%. Ran 1.5 at 6.7 speed and next lap at 7.3 then last lap at 8.0.  Feeling a little discouraged at how winded and heavy I felt running. Just have to remember it is my first week back. And truly the saying is true: it isn't so hard to come back if you hadn't quit in the first place. This is all on me.
